Vsett 10+ Brake upgrade. Doing it on a Budget? how to guide!

- We all want bigger brakes, maybe for a splash of colour or style? maybe for performance? better modulation.
In this vid I show how i done it on mine for less than £30 each end! BARGAIN! you can even do it for less if you go for cheaper caliper mounts.
Orginally i doubted it too, so i bought a 160mm/140mm mount and it was the same as the mount i took off. then i ordered 180mm/160mm mount and its the right fit.
so what we have learnt is due to the angle the arm is in relation to the horizontal the bigger the bracket has to be. same as on a bike this bracket would only work on a 160mm rotor if its mounted on the rear of a bike.
now as the swing arms are identical on the ecsooter it fits both ends like it would the rear of a bike due to the low angle.
if you like what i'm doing here, comment and subcribe
Tools required:

You are the man! Watched your vid and decided to upgrade my 10+, except went with Magura discs and adapters. The Magura discs are slightly thicker and less prone to bending. Cheers bro and thanks for posting this tutorial!
Glad I could help!, i'm planning a Magura MT5E upgrade in the future.
Pretty funny name for brakes "Snail". This should make some difference I mean in my experience un-sprung weight is always great for performance.
Either way big or small difference it looks awesome! Thanks for the vid!
👍Good vid!
😊 Thank you!
Glad you liked it! is a great upgrade
Do you have a link for the screw set at the end many thanks Scott.
Nice colours did you painted them or buy them?
E.M.G. Thank you, very good
Thank you too!
Do you have a link to the titanium bolts please
Hi mate would this be the same for the zero 10x? I'm assuming it's very similar or identical but wanted to confirm it.
Thank you.
hello E scooter. Someone broke the rear brake cable for my Vsett 10+. Do you know any hydraulic brake set I can use to change it?
What are the risks of a disk brake rotor installed in the opposite direction?
Can you link me to the exact adapters you bought please?
Question... if I add the larger rotor on the back wheel will changing the caliper mount result in the caliper touching the stock fender?
how have they been how many miles till u had to change pads, also how are thise tires treating you?
Hello. The adapter is 160mm or 180mm, thanks.
What size is the disk that they placed?
Does this work for both and front with same adapter?
This looks like a Rotor upgrade not the actual brakes. Thought you might be upgrading the brakes to Shimano or Magura, that would be awesome.
Bonjour quel est le diamètre des nouveaux disques s'il vous plaît ? merci .
Why you black out '180 rear/160 front'?
Great swap but your disc are closer to striking the ground when off roading.
Yes, you are right in theory, i've now tested them with flat tires and they still don't strike the ground. I suppose the worst scenario would slipping into a pothole with the disc side riding the edge.
Good looking colors. I can’t stand the yellow. Yours looks sick
what size are your rotors?
Is the rotor change actually worth it? My 10+ came with NUTT brakes and I have no complaints
Yea the brakes are super strong already
hi sir! mine is Ultron T11. i've bought exactly same disc 'snail' brand also same colors as yours 👍 but when the time i want to changed from old to new disc, there is different the 6 hole between the standard disc and the 'snail' ones..is all the electric scooter is using same like bicycle or just some of it? please help..thanks!
So just to clarify, your discs should have 6 holes in them for bolting it up, all bike discs have the same universal hole pattern or they have a single toothed large hole in the centre. i cant say if the ultron has has a different disc made especially for it but it would be very odd for a company to do that and not adopt the standard bike disc set up
@@escootermodificationguides2149 ok sir will double checking it again..now the 'snail' disc is just inside the box only..so sad
Same Front Post to IS 180mm Disc Brake Mount adapter for front and rear brake?
yes the mounts at both ends are the same. They are sold as :
180mm front / 160mm rear IS mount
Hope that helps
@@escootermodificationguides2149 Excellent. Thank you!
Hello i whant to upgrade my electric scooter im with 160mm brake disk and i whant to replace it with 180mm but i need adaptor.
My question is what adaptor i have to buy so i can put a 180mm brake disk.
Can you tell me my scouter is Blade GT
Ans what is your opinion for 180mm 😅
But with that you're wheel will land on brake router if get flat, isn't?
That was such a great question I had to know so I let all the air out the valve and tried it. Good news it didn't affect it at all.
@@escootermodificationguides2149 that's amazing!
Size of old rotor? Size of new one? Did you do both front and rear with same rotor?
original is (i believe 140 with Nutt brakes) 145 with Zoom brakes, depends on model
Old ; 140mm or 145mm
New ; 160mm
Also I'm using nutt brakes.
So you use a 180mm mount and a 160mm rotor?
Hi Stu, confusing isn't it. Yes its to do with its position. Orginally i doubted it too, so i bought a 160mm/140mm mount and it was the same as the mount i took off. then i ordered 180mm/160mm mount and its the right fit.
so what we have learnt is due to the angle the arm is in relation to the horizontal the bigger the bracket has to be. same as on a bike this bracket would only work on a 160mm rotor if its mounted on the rear of a bike.
now as the swing arms are identical on the ecsooter it fits both ends like it would the rear of a bike due to the low angle.
@@escootermodificationguides2149 thanks
Do 160 mm disc work?
Original are 140, these are 160. Not had a problem with the increased size even with a flat tire
BEWARE! THIS SCOOTER CAN AND WILL FAIL. DANGEROUS TOY THIS BRAND!
Huh
@@sohaibmahagri5201 Sorry, l saw a vid. Young guy crashed bad. Front suspension failed. He got really hurt man!
@@richarddonegan4666 cars crash all the time motorcycles too but front shock failing is not a problem cuz you still have a spring on vsetts so if the damper inside (rod) fails the spring is still holding the scooter.
But yeah in general it more dangerous to ride a scooter compared to a bike
